Returning from weekend.

And a good long weekend it was, though I’m a tad unfocused today which is impeding my ability to write with any fluidity. Cotton-brain, stumbling fingers, and the annoying itch of everything I need to get to if I could just get methodical for a few hours. Although I did catch up on sleep and errands this past weekend, I managed insomnia last night that made falling asleep a bit difficult, and today is all the more trying as a result.

Meh. At least they pay me to come here even when I’m in slow-worker mode. I did manage to finish one small project this morning, file a union report and provide feedback on something else – so it’s not that I’m doing nothing. It’s just that thinking kinda hurts today, and I would rather just ditch and go outside in the sun or something. Instead I am listening to Calexico on my iPod and visualizing my work-out at the gym in between work and my union meeting this evening.

Yes, I said work-out. Cause I’ve been back at the gym for the last couple of weeks with the goal of getting fit enough to do the Marble Mountains hike with some friends at the end of the summer. Although I have been a bit achy, it does feel all around pretty good and my ankle hasn’t even been giving me too much trouble which is a hopeful sign. Today is a strength training day, and if I can fit in some time on the recumbent or elliptical afterwards then I will be feeling really accomplished. At least the rest of the week is looking pretty good for fitting in workouts (especially now that two different people canceled plans with me).

I suppose I should enjoy the free time while I have it, since the next two weekends after this are booked with union meetings, and then I start on another cycle of travel in mid-May that goes through until mid-June. I’ve realized recently that although I get worn out from traveling, it does provide me with a bit more excitement than I just get coming and going from the office every day.

Enough updating for now. I am going to the sex work show in Thursday with Jess, and Flying Folksters Alison and Jon are coming down too – so if it looks interesting to you – join us there!
